Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:
Friday 25th September 1998:
UK Gold presents a weekend of gunfights and stiff actors just for us. Saturday morning watch The Gunfighters, an oft maligned 1st Doctor story. In 1881 Tombstone, USA, Americans with British accents face off in a carefully crafted tale that bungles the entire OK Coral legend, but in a good way. Sit back and enjoy the first Who story to ever have a ballad written for it. It runs from 10AM to 12:05PM.
Then on Sunday morning the 3rd Doctor has his first adventure away from Earth. It seems the Time Lords consider a doomsday weapon more serious then his exile. Can the Doctor find out what is happening on the Colony In Space? Special guest starring Roger Delgado as you-know-who. This over-rated story airs from 8:55 to 11:50AM.
